🏝️ On sabbatical. Formerly known for diving under the hood of design systems, fixing your Figma library, standing up for softies. My ex's include Duolingo, GitHub, and Postman (the API tool). 🦸🏻‍♂️🇰🇷🏳️‍⚧️🫶🏽

I noticed something happened to my arm today. It has definition. I guess science is right, the gym works. 🧑🏻‍🔬🧬💪🏼

Handsome (and single) Asian man from Korea wearing a blue cut off tshirt and denim shorts. He's actively taking a selfie in a Spanish elevator while holding his dinner in a plastic bag, coconut water, and a small box of coke zero sugar zero caffeine. One can see that he is appreciating seeing muscular definition in his left bicep after many months of hard work in the gym.

I'd like to throw it out there that I would like to clean up your Figma files. It doesn't sound hard or glorious to some, but to me it's everything. 🧹🏗️🥰🤝

👨🏻‍💻 Figma practice day 2. Shaking off a little more of the sabbatical design rust. Ad cards for fun while waiting for the Wise chatbot support to answer my question, not fun. At least the cards were fun to make! Also credit to the Wise illustration team for the images I "borrowed". 👨🏻‍🎨

A screenshot of Figma design tool with 6 variations of banner ad cards. 4 cards have a heading that says "Save more with our summer deals!" 2 smaller cards have a heading that says Don't miss out on a summer of a lifetime. It should be noted that in the layers list each layer is clearly labeled and organized. Each cards has an illustration of a wallet with money flying out of it. There is a black call to action button on each that says "Get lifetime" as the ad is encouraging customers to purchase a lifetime tier.

"The goal isn’t for designers to adopt engineering practices, but to bring distinct perspectives through an interdisciplinary way of collaborating." I really appreciated this little piece from @runemadsen.com. designsystems.international/ideas/when-f... (1/6)

After about 11 months of my sabbatical, I've reopened @figma.com and made a button again. For fun. ☺️

Screenshot of Figma design tool on a MacOS machine. The file is named "Button practice" and it contains three Figma components, Button, StylizedButton, and icon. This illustrates a designer shaking off the dust and coming back to basics.

Today I went paddle boarding in the ocean for the first time in Barcelona and I just want to say, life outside of tech, AI, screens, etc... is amazing and so refreshing.

Since May I've been using the @nothingtechnology.bsky.social 3a as my main phone and honestly, I absolutely love it! For what I need, this phone just does exactly what I need it to. Enjoy some of my favorite shots around Barcelona

A black and white photo of a control panel for the tram with 5 knobs in one column and 4 rows of covered switches.

A photo of the reflection of a handsome young Asian man wearing a black baseball cap that says "fluent in figma", a white t-shirt, dark blue shorts, and pink Nike shoes. The man is sitting on a bar stool and drinking a non-alcoholic beer.

I've spent the better part of these past few years off feed-like socials (aside from the cursed IG but hey, no one is perfect) and found that most of my pals are here on Bluesky. Late to the party but still in attendance.
